~Coexist Campaign - Motorist and bicyclist education is an important aspect in creating a
bicycle friendly community. The "Coexist" Campaign was designed to
address six of the most important educational messages for bicyclists
and motorists. The educational messages were identified through
national and local sources. The "Coexist" campaign's objectives include
educating bicyclists on how to ride respectfully in an urban setting,
educating motorists on how to drive cautiously, while stressing to both
motorist and bicyclist the importance of mutual awareness, patience,
and courtesy. Click here for campaign background and to see all six Coexist images.
